  • It turns out that the family’s youngest child has started college and Grif is missing him badly.
  • Viewers cannot help but relate to the dog mom’s and Grif’s situation.

As @cecececez73 advised on the video, “Normalize taking your pet to college!!!!”

Dog mom @life_with_grif posted a video of their yellow Labrador Grif, watching out from the window and waiting for his brother who has gone to college. It has brought out a lot of emotions and tissues for viewers.

Leaving is never easy for both the one going and the one left. The dog mom has been coming to terms with being a new empty nester and seeing Grif who grew up with and attached to the hip of the family’s youngest, has her heart breaking.  Grif’s forlorn face as he looks out the window is just so sad.

And we are sure his human brother may also be feeling the same way.  You leave a dog for just a few minutes and they howl for their humans.  How much more if it is months in school?

Dogs just feel so deeply and love with all their heart that viewers cannot help but sympathize with Grif.  Here are some of the comments which reveal how we all can relate with Grif.

But that is how life is and we sure would like to see how the two would be when they reunite just like @justmissjen who wrote: “We are going to need a video when he returns. “Please do update us, @life_with_grif!

It’s heartbreaking to watch a pup go through a grieving process and you don’t know how to help them. I had two dogs, ages 14 and 15, up until last month when I had to put the 15 yr old down because of her age, she was failing, and it was finally time. It breaks my heart every day to watch her 14 yr old brother and his personality changes. Please bring joy to all who sees this with an update when Grif’s “brother” comes home from college!!!

DOGS AND OTHER PETS ARE THE GIFTS FROM GOD THAT KEEP THE LOVE IN OUR HEARTS FOR THESE GREAT ANIMALS…….THEY GIVE TO US MUCH MORE THAN WHAT WE GIVE TO THEM…….

PEOPLE THAT DO NOT LET THESE GREAT GIFTS LIVE IN THE HOUSE WITH US ARE NOT TRUE ANIMAL LOVERS……THOSE THAT ABUSE THEM ARE MONSTERS THAT ARE NOT WORTH 2 CENTS.

I think he needs a new friend to help him with his sadness. Why not adopt a new pet for companionship?

OR adopt or foster a replacement human companion!

My Don passed away eight years ago and my dog still suffers due to it. He grieves when I have to go to the store and leave him with some one because he can’t be left alone or he will try to tear the doors down to go hunt for me. Mick is now 13 years old and I try to do all my shopping one time a month to keep him from the stress of being left at home. He cries the whole time I’m gone and I do believe he fears I will leave one day and not come back. My son doggie sits him and he says Mick drives him nuts crying and whining the whole time I’m gone. But when I get home, well it sure is nice to be missed and loved so much as soon as I walk in the door.

Before I got married, I had dogs and cats to keep my life filled with companionship, but when I got married, I had to give up the animals because she was allergic to them. Well, now I have been divorced for 9 years, and the apartment building Ilive in won’t let me have a pet unless it is a service or therapy animal. I miss having a dog or cat as a companion, any ideas on how I can get them to let me have a pet here?

many people now fake psychological conditions and get certified by some quack psych or MD. after that, you can have a service pet. it is best to look up how these (usually dogs) appear and get a training certificate for the dog, too. i know, quite a hassle, but you see them everywhere now.

Simple fix, all dogs are therapy dog’s, you just have to play the game better than the apartment complex and spend just a little money to get his jacket
